40K: Where did the Emperor go?

Chapter 187 The Spirit of Vengeance
You wear exquisitely crafted power armor, with the vertical eye of Horus symbolizing power adorning the chest of your armor.

You are sitting on the throne covered in darkness. You are synonymous with the power of destruction. You, the king of darkness, open your hazy sleepy eyes and look at the person kneeling on the ground, the guy who has the same appearance, body and experience as you.

He was suppressed to the ground by your huge power, unable to move at all. He was Horus, but he was a weak guy. You felt disgusted that you were actually the same person as him.

Look at how weak he is like a defeated dog. How can he deserve to stand with his father? You, you are the real Horus, you are my father's favorite.

You hold the iron chain with one hand, and the other end of the iron chain is tied with the collar around the neck of the fake Horus. You keep him captive like a dog.

oh! Look at this fake. He sneaked into the Spirit of Vengeance to assassinate you, but he didn't realize how weak he was and how powerful you were at this moment.

You dragged the guy to your throne by the chain. You pointed at the four thrones beside you and said: "Look, fake, this will be the gift I prepared for my father and brothers. They and I Sitting together and sharing a beautiful life in the future, you can only fall into the abyss as our nourishment."

The impostor looks at you with hateful eyes, but he can't do anything because he is a waste, a toy that can only be at your mercy.

…………

People were standing inside and outside the palace, Custodes, Astartes and countless Astra Militarum, Tech-Priests and Ecclesiarchs, looking up at the behemoth in the sky.

The Emperor stood on the wall of the palace and looked at the Vengeful Spirit parked above Terra Terra. The palace's defensive turrets and weapons were all aimed at the battleship in the sky.

I don’t know why a huge ship like the Spirit of Vengeance has already entered the atmosphere, and why it is still affected by the gravity of the planet and is directly smashed down from high in the sky.

They did not fire. The Spirit of Vengeance was too close to the palace. If the Spirit of Vengeance was shot down, this behemoth would definitely hit the palace directly.

Sanguinius stared at the giant ship in front of him. All the Primarchs felt their hearts sinking when they saw this giant ship appearing above the palace. It seemed that the Horus Heresy was happening again.

The Emperor looked at Malcador: "You and the children stay here."

"No," all the sons said to the Emperor, taking a step forward to firm their stance.

"Be obedient," the Emperor rebuked the disobedient rebels.

Then he walked towards the transmission platform, and as he moved, the Imperial Guards behind him immediately followed.

The emperor stopped and said, "You also stay."

The Imperial Guards panicked: "Lord, why? We are your bodyguards."

Trajan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, no matter where you go, the imperial army will follow you to the death."

The Emperor did not speak, and Malcador stood up. He sent a vision to all the Imperial Guards. It was the scene of the Emperor leading the Imperial Guards to join the Vengeful Spirit during the Horus Heresy 10,000 years ago.

In the illusion, the Imperial Guards shed blood and tears and turned their weapons against their lord, the emperor whom they swore to protect to the death. In the end, the tragedy occurred in which the lord and his ministers fought each other.

The Imperial Guards lowered their heads in shame. They had tears streaming down their faces, feeling extremely ashamed and guilty for the betrayal of their predecessors.

The Emperor's voice rang in the ears of every Custodian and Primarch: "This is not the fault of you and them. It is not betrayal. It is just that we underestimated the power of Chaos. This battle is not weaker than that of the past. This is also my fault." I have to deal with my son’s personal matters myself.”

At this time, Ryan stood up: "If the Forbidden Army can't do it, and we can't do it, at least the Seal Master can help."

The emperor shook his head: "Makado needs to stay to maintain the webway, he cannot leave." The emperor paused: "If you must let me bring a guard, then I will choose one of the people present as a witness Please come with me this time."

The Emperor looked around at everyone. Everyone caught by the Emperor's gaze, whether they were Custodes, Primarchs, Astartes, or even the Astra Militarum, stood up straight and looked at the Emperor, expecting to be chosen by the Emperor. , became an extremely glorious person this time.

The Emperor found the only person in the crowd who was different from everyone present. Others tried their best to raise their heads and stand up straight, hoping to be seen and chosen by him, but this person lowered the brim of his hat and quietly moved out.

The emperor reached out and pointed to the crowd: "That imperial soldier comes out."

Everyone turned their attention to the direction the emperor was pointing, wondering which guy whose ancestors were lucky enough to get this honor.

The soldier with his hat lowered was still sneaking out, trying to avoid where the emperor's finger was pointing.

But he suddenly found that he couldn't move. The soldiers in front were blocking him, preventing him from moving at all.

He raised his head with a pleading expression: "Twenty thousand brothers, please give me a break. I want to go to the toilet."

The two soldiers didn't waste any time. They held up his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and held him up against the city wall. People around him made way for a passage.

When the soldier was dragged in front of the emperor, the emperor stretched out his hand to help the soldier up: "Commissar Kane, why don't you say hello to your old friend when you come?"

Sanguinius and Connor Decozi froze on the spot with ferocious faces. They both held weapons in their hands, but they couldn't move, as if they had been immobilized.

The other original bodies on the side were stunned, wondering what happened to these two brothers? Do they have any grudge against this Astra Militarum?

Commissar Kane saluted and knelt down to the emperor: "I have met His Majesty."

Emperor: "Get up, you're all old friends. You're welcome."

Everyone was shocked and gasped, who is this guy? To be called an old friend by the Emperor, to have such a relationship with the Lord of Mankind?

Political Commissar Kane smiled bitterly: "You keep getting caught."

Emperor: "After all, what you promised me has not been accomplished yet."

Political Commissar Kane said with a sad face: "Can you give me some time to explain my funeral arrangements?"

The Astra Militarum members spat at this guy in their hearts. What the hell, the tasks assigned by the Emperor were left to them to handle without even frowning.

This guy actually dares not to do it immediately, and he seems to have become a deserter. This guy is from that army. He really embarrasses our Astra Militarum.

Trajan, who was standing aside, stepped forward and knelt down to the emperor and saluted: "If there is anything that needs to be done, sir, you can ask our imperial army to do it, even if you die."

Upon hearing this, all the Imperial Guards immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "I will not give up even if I die!"

The voices of the Imperial Guards were deafening. They were once unable to protect their lord, and there was also an incident where the Imperial Guards turned their swords against their own emperor. This made the Imperial Guards ashamed. They urgently needed a chance to wash away their shame.
